Preface vii
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. We are sure your ST60 instrument
will give you many years of trouble-free operation.
This handbook describes how to install and use the Raymarine ST60 Wind and
ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments. These give:
•True and Apparent wind direction and speed. Wind speed is displayed either
in knots, meters per second or as Beaufort scale values.
•Velocity made good (VMG).
•Maximum wind speed.
In addition to this, ST60 Wind master instruments give:
•Maximum minimum true wind speed alarms.
•High and low apparent wind angle alarms.
The ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments are constructed in rugged
weather proofed cases. Each provides a sensitive and stable, combined analog
and digital display, to deliver accurate information under even the most
demanding conditions.
ST60 Wind
The ST60 Wind instrument provides a 360° apparent wind scale and can be used
either as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an integrated SeaTalk instrumentation
system.

viii ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook
ST60 Close Hauled Wind
The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded indication from
-60° to +60° about the bow and stern of the boat, on a combined analog and
digital display.
Data inputs
SeaTalk
SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a single,
integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk system are linked by
means of a single cable, which feeds both power and data. Instruments can
therefore be added to the system by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk is
flexible enough to adapt to any number of compatible instruments without
requiring a central processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an appropriate
interface with non-SeaTalk equipment, using the internationally-accepted
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.
In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater
unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that
provides the raw data), and provides data and control for the service it is
providing to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is
not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other
equipment in the SeaTalk network.
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Wind instrument is connected only to the
relevant transducer and does not display information from, or provide
information to, any other instruments.
Note:
The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument operates only as a SeaTalk repeater. It can-
not be connected directly to a wind transducer.
Remote control
When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments
can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant
remote access to the various display readouts.
Preface ix

1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine
ST60 Wind instrument and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument. These
instruments show:
•Wind speeds and directions
•Velocity Made Good (VMG) information, when boat-speed information is
available,
•Tack angle, when heading information is available.
CAUTION: Calibration requirement
The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instrument are calibrated to factory (default) settings when first
supplied. To ensure optimum performance on your boat, these
products must be calibrated before use. Do NOT use either one of
these products until it has been calibrated using the procedures in
Chapter 4, Calibration
.
If the CAL legend on the digital display flashes for the first 30 seconds after any
power up, use the appropriate procedures in
Chapter 4, Calibration
to:
1. Apply the factory defaults.
2. Carry out the linearization procedure.
Displayed information
The information on the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments is
presented by means of a pointer and a digital display. This information can be
either true or apparent, depending on which mode is selected.
Pointer
The pointer shows the true or apparent wind direction. The scale range given by
the ST60 Wind instrument is a full 360°, whereas the ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instrument gives an expanded indication from -60° to +60° about the bow or
stern of the boat.

Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 7
Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
2.1 Maintenance
Servicing and safety
•Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine ser-
vice technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement
parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in
any Raymarine product.
•Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connec-
tors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
•When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize
these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your
Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to
enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equip-
ment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
•Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer.
We use such information to improve our quality standards.
•In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may
result in faulty operation.
Instrument
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the
instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by
increasing the illumination setting to Level 3.
Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use
chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.
Transducer
If the wind vane is removed from its base for any reason (e.g. if the mast is
stepped), use the protective cap (attached) to protect the connector on the wind
vane base.
8 ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook
Cabling
Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where
necessary, replace and re-secure.
2.2 Troubleshooting
Preliminary procedures
Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your
ST60 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are:
•Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel.
•You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals.
If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC requirements (see
Chapter 3, Installation
) are still being met before further investigating the
problem.
Fixing faults
All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality
assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if a fault occurs,
the following table may help to identify and rectify the problem.
Fault Cause Remedy
Display blank No power supply Check power supply.
Check SeaTalk cabling and

Chapter 3: Installation 11
Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instruments, and associated wind transducer.
You can use any one of three Raymarine wind transducer types in conjunction
with the ST60 Wind instruments:
•Cruiser wind vane (short arm). Typically mounted on a mast head.
•Competition wind vane (long arm). Typically mounted on a mast head.
•Rotavecta. Typically mounted on a rail or radar arch.
The transducer is connected to the rear of the instrument.
Note:
The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument does not connect directly to a wind trans-
ducer.
For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this equipment,
please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National
Distributor.
3.1 Planning your installation
Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best positions
for both transducer and instrument, such that the
Site requirements
and the
EMC
installation guidelines
are satisfied.
Site requirements
Transducers
Each transducer type has a cable connected, and is supplied with a junction box
and a set of spade terminals.
The transducer location must:
•Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing.
•Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may shield the
transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow.
•Provide a horizontal mounting surface. If a surface (e.g. mast top) is otherwise
suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged packing piece to pro-
vide the necessary horizontal surface.
There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed to the
instrument.

CAUTION:
The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause
damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing
hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors.
ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the rear of
the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact with water.
Each instrument must also be positioned where:
•It is easily read by the helmsman
•It is protected against physical damage
•It is at least 9 in (230 mm) from a compass
•It is at least 20 in (500 mm) from radio receiving equipment
•There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure
that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what
factors could affect the operation of the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance,
but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all
situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the
constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation
possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
•At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying
radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB
radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).
•More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can nor-
mally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating
element.
•The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine
start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and
starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not dam-
14 ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook
age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may
change the operating mode.
•Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can
compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is
detailed in the installation manual.
•If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reas-
sembled in the same position.
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the
cable near the Raymarine unit.
3.2 Procedure
As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios,
the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing wind
transducers and ST60 Wind instruments. Adapt these procedures as appropriate,
to suit your individual requirement.
CAUTION:
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and
instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard
by weakening critical parts of the vessel’s structure.
Unpacking
Unpack your ST60 instrument and check that the items described in the
Preface
are present:
D3548-6
Chapter 3: Installation 15
Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface mounting.
Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and bracket mounting
the instrument. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel
and four fixing screws are also provided.
Fitting the instruments
The ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments can be installed using
one of a number of different mounting options:
•Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.95 in (24 mm).
•Flush mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.25 in (6 mm).
•Bracket mounting.
The ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a panel with just the
instrument dial and keys visible.
Surface mounting
To surface mount your ST60 instrument (see the
Surface mounting
illustration):
1. Ensure that:
•The selected location is clean, smooth and flat.

Flush mounting
The Flush Mounting Kit uses a low-profile bezel to reduce the fitted profile of the
instrument, to approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) above the panel fascia.
Fitting the low-profile bezel
In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace the standard
bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows:
1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you.
2. Using both thumbs, gently press an upper corner of the instrument from the
bezel, then remove the bezel from the instrument. Retain the rubber keypad
which is released when the bezel is removed.
3. Place the instrument face upwards on a flat surface and place the rubber key-
pad (7) in position around the display window (i.e. so that each key outline is
located over its associated key on the instrument).
D4537-2
Chapter 3: Installation 17
4. Snap the low-profile bezel (8) in position over the instrument, so that the rub-
ber keys are correctly located in the holes on the bezel.
CAUTION:
It is essential that only screws of the correct size are used to
secure the instrument to the bezel. Failure to observe this caution
could result in damage to both the instrument and the bezel.
5. Using the four, self-tapping screws (9) provided, secure the instrument and
bezel together. Fit the screws from the rear of the instrument and tighten
them sufficiently to secure the instrument and bezel together. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN.
Flush mounting procedure

Chapter 3: Installation 19
Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument,
it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to
water.
To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit
Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.
Fitting transducers
If you are fitting an ST60 Wind instrument and wish to use it as a master
instrument, you must also fit a wind transducer.
Note:
An ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be used as a repeater instrument,
so a directly-connected transducer is not required.
Typical windvane installation
Note:
Do NOT remove the connector cap from the wind vane base connector, until you are
ready to fit the wind vane arm.
The wind vane base must be horizontal. If necessary, make up a suitable packing
piece to provide a horizontal mounting surface.

You can fit your wind vane so the cable leaves the wind vane base either from the
rear (option A), or from underneath (option B).
A wind vane is typically mounted on a mast top, as follows:
1. Mark the mounting surface for drilling. The recommended method for doing
this depends on which cable option you intend to use:
•For cable option A, place the wind vane base in the intended position,
with the front end facing forwards, and mark the position of the two fixing
screw holes.
•For cable option B, use the template at the rear of this handbook, to mark
the position of the two fixing screw holes and the cable hole.
2. Drill the mounting surface for the cable option you intend to use:
•For cable option A, drill a 4 mm hole at each of the marked locations for
the fixing screw holes.
•For cable option B, drill a 4 mm hole at each of the marked locations for
the fixing screw holes and an 8 mm hole at the marked location for the
cable.
3. Referring to the
Wind vane cable options
illustration, route the cable cor-
rectly for the option you are using, then secure the wind vane base, using the
two self-tapping fixing screws.
4. Insert the wind vane arm into the wind vane base connector and tighten the
locking ring securely by hand.

Rotavecta
The Rotavecta can be clamped to a 0.9 in (23 mm) or a 1 in (25 mm) rail by means
of an integral clamp. To fit a Rotavecta:
1. Dismantle the integral clamp, and ensure the pointed end of the grub screw
does not protrude through the top of the lower clamp section.
2. If the rail is 1 in (25 mm) diameter, set aside the two spacers. If the rail is
between 0.9 in (23 mm) and 1 in (25 mm) diameter, place the spacers in the
lower part of the clamp.
[
3. Offer up the lower part of the clamp (and spacers if used) underneath the rail.
4. Place the rail mount disc on the upper side of the rail and place the upper part
of the Rotavecta on top of this, so that all the screw holes are in alignment.

tighten at this stage.
6. Ensure the main shaft of the Rotavecta is vertical, then tighten the two fixing
screws.
7. Screw in the grub screw, to pinch the rail.
Running transducer cable
General
Each transducer type is supplied with sufficient cable already connected, to run
from the mounted position to the ST60 Wind instrument. The manner in which
you run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducer and instrument.
Observing the following guidelines, run the transducer cable to the instrument:
•If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary deck
gland.
•Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing.
•Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.
•If the transducer is mounted on a masthead or other structure likely to be
removed for maintenance or storage purposes (e.g. a mast), always incorpo-
rate a junction box into the cable run as close as possible to the cable entry
point into the vessel, to facilitate disconnection when required.
•Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct con-
nection to the rear of the instrument, it may be necessary to remove these to
facilitate installation, e.g. if the cable has to be routed through narrow aper-
tures. Extra spade connectors are provided, to replace any that are removed
when running the cable. When fitting spade connectors, prepare the cable as
at (a) in the following illustration, then fold back the wire strands and insert
into the spade connector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not extend
beyond the rear of the spade connector insulation, then crimp the connector
to the wire.

From masthead
If the transducer is fitted on a masthead:
1. Remove the spade connectors from the free end of the cable, then feed the
free end of the cable down inside the mast.
•If the mast is a through-deck mast, feed the cable out through a suitable
below-decks aperture.
•If the mast is deck stepped, feed the cable through the deck, using a pro-
prietary deck gland.
2. Fit the junction box inside the vessel, close to the cable entry point.
3. Run the cable to the junction box, then allowing sufficient cable to connect
inside the junction box, cut the cable and connect each wire at the free end of
the cable from the transducer, to a separate connector inside the junction box.
4. Connect each wire at one end of the remaining cable to the same-colored
wire inside the junction box.
5. Run the cable from the junction box to the ST60 Wind instrument.
6. Crimp new spade connectors onto the wires at the instrument end of the
cable, as described above.

Connecting the instruments
Types of connection
The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can each
be connected to SeaTalk, as repeater instruments.
The ST60 Wind instrument, can also be connected:
•As a stand-alone instrument connected directly to the wind transducer.
•To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the trans-
ducer and to SeaTalk.
Instruments connected to SeaTalk derive their power directly from SeaTalk and no
separate power connection is necessary. Where a SeaTalk system includes an
autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot.
A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated
instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each
end. A junction box can be used to join cables.
Signal connections
Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the
Connection to
ST60 Wind instrument
illustration). Although all possible connections are shown:
•You can connect only one transducer type (either Rotavecta or Wind Vane), to
an ST60 Wind instrument. Do NOT attempt to connect both types, even if both
are fitted.
Note:
If at any time, the transducer type is changed (e.g. a Wind Vane is connected in
place of a Rotavecta), use the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration to apply the factory de-
fault settings, then carry out the linearization and alignment procedures.
•The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be connected to SeaTalk; it
does not have transducer connectors.
Chapter 3: Installation 25
Power supply connections
SeaTalk systems
CAUTION:
When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the
power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse.
Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may require
connections to the power supply from each end of the system (‘ring-main’ style),
to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the system.
This requirement depends on the total length of the cable run and the total
number of instruments in the system, as follows:
Cable run No. of instruments Power connections

Stand alone instruments
Stand-alone instruments are not connected to SeaTalk and therefore need to be
connected to an alternative 12 V power source. Power cables are available in 2 m
and 9 m lengths.
To fit a power cable:
1. Ensure the intended power source is switched off.
2. Run the power cable from the instrument to a suitable 12 V dc power source.
3. If the cable has not already been trimmed at the power supply end:
i. Cut the cable to length and trim back an appropriate amount of the outer
sheath.
ii. Cut back and insulate the yellow wire.
4. Connect the screen to the power supply 0 V terminal.
5. Connect the red wire via a 3 A circuit breaker to the power supply +12 V ter-
minal.
6. Insert the power cable connector into one of the SeaTalk connectors at the
rear of the instrument.

Chapter 4: Calibration 27
Chapter 4: Calibration
4.1 Introduction
The ST60 Wind instruments are set up with factory-programmed default settings,
so in order to optimize the performance of the instruments on board a particular
vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the
completion of installation, and before the equipment is used for navigational
purposes.
Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented diagrammatically to
show the sequence of key presses and the resulting displays. Adjustment
instructions are given as applicable.
EMC conformance
•Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not
affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
•In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. Although this will not damage the
equipment, it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result
in faulty operation.
4.2 User calibration
The User calibration procedures:
•Linearize and align the wind transducer.
•Select the required wind speed units
Linearizing and aligning the wind transducer
This procedure ensures that the sensors in the windvane transducer are correctly
calibrated to record rotation of the windvane, then compensates for any small
errors which may exist in the alignment of the wind transducer.
To do this:
1. Power-up the ST60 Wind instrument.
2. Slowly turn the vessel through two complete circles. This procedure automat-
ically linearizes the windvane. A successful linearization is indicated by the
digital display flashing and the buzzer sounding three beeps.
28 ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook
3. Hold down the disp and true/app keys for approximately 2 seconds to enter
User calibration then use the disp key to select the wind angle screen (see the
User calibration
flow diagram).
4. Sail directly into the wind and adjust the analog pointer to zero, using the
vmg and tack keys. If you are unable to achieve the required degree of accu-
racy due to sea conditions, and errors become apparent during subsequent
tack operations, repeat this procedure to achieve alignment accuracy.
5. Display the wind speed units screen.
6. Use the vmg and tack keys to select the units you want, either knots (KTS) or
meters per second (M/S).
Note:
Any speed unit changes will be applied to other SeaTalk instruments.

•The instrument software version number. This information is normally
required if you request parts or repairs.
•The instrument status - either r0 (master) or r1 (repeater).
To use the Intermediate calibration screens, hold down the disp and true/app
keys for approximately 4 seconds.
Leaving Intermediate calibration
Hold down the disp and true/app keys for 2 seconds to exit Intermediate
calibration and resume normal operation.

Dealer calibration also gives access to the Factory defaults screen. This enables
you to re-apply the factory settings if you want to reset the instrument to a known
operating condition.
To commence Dealer calibration, hold down the disp and true/app keys
together for approximately 12 seconds, to select the Dealer calibration entry page
(see Dealer calibration diagram, sheets 1 and 2). Then momentarily press the
vmg and tack keys to proceed with the calibration. As the calibration progresses,
use the disp key to move from screen to screen.
User calibration on/off
Use either the vmg or tack key to toggle the User calibration either on (UC1) or
off (UC0) as required.
Response settings
The response values (for wind speed, wind angle and VMG) determine the
frequency at which information is updated. A low number provides a smooth
response and a high number a much livelier response with rapid pointer
movement.
Use the vmg (decrement) and tack (increment) keys to set the required value.
Response values are from 1 to 15 .
Wind speed
The Wind speed and Wind speed calibration screens are used to set the correct
value for the wind speed. On entry (from the Wind speed response screen), the
current value for apparent wind speed is displayed. Set the correct wind speed
value, by applying a calibration factor as follows:
1. Use the vmg (decrement) and tack (increment) keys to switch from the Wind
Speed screen to the Wind Speed Calibration screen.
2. Use the vmg (decrement) or tack (increment) key to set the wind speed cali-
bration factor to 0.7.
3. Timeout to the Wind Speed screen, and if further adjustment is necessary,
repeat steps 1 and 2.
